The ACC gave the schools a conservative revenue sharing distribution projection. So, FSU, which expected $14 million, instead got nearly $16 million. A check totaling nearly $7 million received June 1, when they expected only $5.4 million, made up for the shortfall.

Revenue projections are based on television media rights from championship games, the NCAA basketball tournament, the conference football championship game and the NCAA’s distribution, the Sentinel reports. The conference gets more for bowl game appearances, as well.

“This conference distributes money evenly,” Spetman said. It’s a great way to run a conference.”
